Summary
Be guided in a meditation to manage negative thoughts. You'll repeat an affirmation to empower yourself. One of the benefits of meditation is self regulation. When you meditate you're able to better manage your response to stress. Throughout this week's series you'll learn how to use meditation techniques to manage stress triggers. This is part 2 of a 7-Part Benefits of Meditation Series, Episodes 723-729.
As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I honor you for giving yourself permission to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. |
| 0:18.0 | And I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique every day on the podcast |
| 0:27.1 | and each technique is customized around a weekly theme. |
| 0:32.3 | Well, in today's episode, which is episode 724, our theme for the week is the benefits of meditation. |
| 0:46.4 | So we're exploring the benefits of meditation that have been researched for several years now and many important findings regarding |
| 0:58.2 | how meditation benefits your mind, your body, and your spirit. |
| 1:06.5 | This will be explored in this week's series. Well, every Monday, today is for a Monday's meditation, I guide you using an affirmation. |
| 1:18.6 | Now an affirmation is simply a positive statement. |
| 1:23.6 | You repeat to help you focus your thoughts in a very supportive way to help support some part of your |
| 1:34.4 | life that you're focusing on so in today's guided meditation I'll be sharing an affirmation |
| 1:42.2 | with you to help you manage negative thoughts. |
| 1:47.0 | Thoughts that you might run through your mind day in and day out that are not supportive. |
| 1:54.0 | In fact, research shows that over 80% of the thoughts we think are negative and that over 90% of the thoughts we think are |
| 2:06.7 | repetitive. So by repeating a positive, uplifting statement, and I share how to do this |
| 2:15.7 | in a unique way every single Monday on the podcast where you actually repeat the affirmation using your voice in different ways. |
| 2:28.2 | And this helps to really absorb the affirmation on a deep level so you're not just randomly repeating a |
| 2:37.4 | positive statement that might not mean that much to you. I guide you to take it deeply within |
| 2:44.3 | you so that you can benefit from this meditation technique. |
| 2:59.5 | And the reason this is so powerful is because one of the top benefits of meditation research has shown in study after study is that meditation helps you to regulate how you respond to stress triggers. |
| 3:12.3 | So when you repeat a positive affirmation, you're choosing the thoughts you want to think. |
| 3:20.3 | So this is going to help you regulate how you respond to emotional, physical stress. |
| 3:28.5 | So let's go ahead now and get ready to meditate. |
